PDF Form in Particular Font 2

I need to create a PDF-form with a particular font. I already embedded the font when exporting from InDesign and set the "Subset fonts..." to 0% as advised to in this link:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/426831
However when I try to choose the specific font (Melior), I get this error-message:
"The selected font has a custom encoding and cannot be embedded ind the PDF-file because of licensing restrictions. (...)
To avoid this situation, use a font that can be embedded in the PDF file, a font that does not have a custom encoding or a font that is known to be on all systems where the PDF file will be viewed."
What can I do?
Thanks for your help!

Thank you, that was what I needed.
So now I know the test PDF document use only TrueType fonts. That means its content should be indexable for TREX but it isn't. There is just message "No document excerpt available" for this document in search results.
Could someone look at the document and try to index it? It can be downloaded from http://www.volny.cz/kabrtz/TREX/indexing_test.pdf

Pdf form -- too large font

Hi,
I'd like to fill a pdf form with atril. Unfortunatelly it uses so huge fonts, that some of the letters are actually lolling out of the box. Do you have any idea how to change the fontsize?
Or any alternatives? Acrobat Reader works fine, but I'd rather not use it, since it cannot save the filled form. I've already played around with inkscape, but that's more like avoiding the problem, than solving it
Thanks!

I do the same as dice, in that I try it with various PDF readers (and a web browser if I'm pushing out the boat) to see if they'll work.
Don't know about saving the completed form, because I tend to fill them in and then PDF print it and print to a printer.
And I'd say it's something to do with Adobe being Adobe.

How can I format fonts when filling in PDF forms with Preview

I have been using Preview to view and fill in PDF forms. The font that Preview uses to fill in the forms is very small and difficult to read. I would like to make it larger to match the document font size.

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

PDF Form with Text in Particular Font

I have created a Certificate of Completion in CS4. It is 8.5x11 and, among other things, has a TIFF certificate background and border overlaid with text. My customer wants a PDF in which they can type two pieces of info: the name of the awardee and the date. These go in different places and in different fonts and sizes. How do I create such a PDF so that only this info can be entered, and entered in the correct size, font and area?
Should I post this in the PDF forums?

Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
Add a text field to your form.
There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

Particular font for entire pdf document

Can i set a particular font for entire pdf document while designing pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer ES?
How can i do it?

Each object has its own settings for font. You can set the object to the font that you want and then drag it back onto the palette. It will ask you to overwrite the current one. As you drag the object back into the drawing area the new font will be used. This is true aof all properties of the object and not just font.
This is useful if you are creating a new form, but if one already exists then the easiest way is to open the XML source (right mouse click on the Design tab and choose XML source. Use the search facility to find all occurances of typeface and chnage each one to the font that you want. Save the XML and then all objects will have the same font.
Make sure that you make a backup of th eform before you play with the XML. There is no undo once the cahnges are committed.

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me 'options' to choose from.

Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

Hi All
We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
Thank you in advance
Paul

Cfpdfform (CF8) changes text-field font of an adobe 9 pdf form to Courier

I'm having problems getting cfpdfform to render the text-field font as it exists in the source pdf form.
The source pdf form was created in Acrobat 9 Standard.
When I download the pdf from the server using cfcontent, the text-fields look as expected, retaining their designated font (and the pdf has the desired fonts embedded).
However, when I do a cfpdfform action="populate", the text-field font is switched with Courier (even though the desired fonts remain embedded).
This happens regardless of what font I pick.
I have verified that the font exists on the server and in cf admin.
Here's my code:

<cfpdfform action="populate"
           source="#pdfPathFile#"
           destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
           overwrite = "yes">
    <cfpdfformparam name="student_name" value="first name and last name" />
    <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_title" value="a cool certificate title" />
    <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_date" value="1/1/2010" />
</cfpdfform>

<cfpdf action = "write"
       destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
       source = "#pdfPathFile#"
       flatten = "yes"
       overwrite = "yes" />

<cfcontent
    file = "#pdfPathFile#"
    deleteFile = "yes"
    reset = "yes"
    type = "application/pdf" />
Commenting out the cfpdf action = "write" block produced the same outcome.
Using different source and destination filenames (vs overwriting existing one) didn't make a difference, either.
Any ideas on how I can get cfpdfform to respect my predefined text-field fonts?
I truly appreciate your time.

The problem was resolved.
Turned out to be the way the pdf was created by Adobe 9 Standard that made cfpdfform misbehave.
Three things we did seemed to have made the pdf acceptable by cfpdfform:
1. Downloaded the latest updates for Adobe 9 Standard
2. Checked on the text-field "Multi-line" property
3. Checked off the text-field "Rich Text Formatting" property
Cheers.

How can I adjust the font size, etc., when completing a PDF form in Preview?

I would like to use Preview to fill-out or complete a PDF form. The default font that Preview uses when I begin typing in a field is too large. How can I adjust the font size. And while I'm asking, can I also adjust the font color, weight, emphasis, etc.?

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

How do you swap out an embed font in a PDF form

Here is my problem, I am trying to get ride of a specific font in a PDF form file.
Before I applied this font "SimSun-GBK-EUC-H(Embedded Subset) the file was roughly 150KB. After I applied this font the file size increased to 800 KB. The major problem is this font requires an extended language pack to be installed, in order to fill out this PDF form. My computer is installed so it won't be an issue so me, however it will be a huge pain in the butt for the public who usually don't have the extended language pack. I have already finished editing the rest of the form, I really hope there is a way to swap out this font within something else.
Any suggestions?
Update
I decided to redo the form from beginning, just by a small little mistake I added a reset button that uses a different font, now the file size jumped from 150KB to 1.2MB.
I check the file and found 92% of the file size is occupied by Fonts. How do I get swap the font? How do I optimize it?
Thanks!
Thansk!

By Popup do you mean a link that when clicked causes a separate topic to be displayed in a seperate window (popup) or Drop Down text?
For Popups that are displayed in a new window then the font and colour is changed in the topic that is displayed. Simply open the topic and change colours / features as required
If you are using drop down text and confusing this with a popup then the font and colour is changed when creating the drop down text. Right click the text and select Font to change colour etc.

Printing wide ABAP in PDF form leads to very small fonts

Hi all,
Our solution uses EP (NW2004s) as well as SAPGUI for HTML (ECC6), and printing is only through Front-end printing. Hence, we are only able to open the output in Adobe Reader and then print using the OS defined printers.
This works fine for most ABAP lists, but if the list is very wide (eg. 400 columns), the output is still converted to a 210 X 279 MM PDF file, and the fonts have been shrunk terribly to fit into the page. Hence, is there any way to change the paper size of the pdf file (make it landscape for example), or to print the output in multiple pages.
Thanks for the help!

PDF Form not printing all field/letters properly.

Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me.
I recently created a PDF Form to be filled out when setting up an new customer at my job.
After filling out the form one of my co-workers is experiancing an issue when printing. Anytime he has two or more of the same letters in a field, they do not print.
(For example)
[email protected] will print as Je @aol.com and will just pring our a blank field.
Just for fun we tried to pring [email protected] and all we got was " @aol.com".
This seems to only happen on one pirinter and from my one coleagues computer, no one else.
Any ideas?
I did update his Acrobat to the most recent version and restarted the computer but we still have the same issues.
Thanks.

If it only acts up with the one printer. Then it’s a Print Driver Issue. Or some strange Printer problems that can be fixed by:
Quiting the application your using with the printer
Next Unplug Printer.
IF wired Printer (SCSI, Serial, Parallel, USB, Thunderbolt) unplug computer that comes from Computer
Leave everything unpluged for 2 minutes or more.
Plug Power to Printer back in first
Next Plug cable from Printer to computer in
Turn power on to Printer
Open Application
Try to print Document.
If prints okay your done.
If it doesn't Print, obtain the latest Print Drive from Manufacturer
Remove the old driver from computer first.
quit all apps and restart computer before installing new Driver
Install New driver.
Now try to print.
If prints okay your done. If not there is an issue with Acrobat.
Yes a Printer can work with 500 of your applications, and utilities, and not work with a particular application. (Usually a conflict.)
For example Adobe (Acrobat) has a very rich history of conflict with Print Drivers from HP. At time in the past It seemed like a Contest Adobe had seeing how fast they could change something Acrobat/Reader to conflict with HP Deskjet Printers, as soon as HP fixed an issue Hp would change something with a week or two.
Another issue can be be font. Perhaps a Font used in the form is not on the computer that is acting up.

One more thing when ever i get Field name using Field.Name method i want to high light that particular field. Is any one has any kind of method for highlighting all the fields.
Thanks in Advance..

Hi,
If you set the font size of the text field value (not the caption) to zero then the text will shrink to fit. This can be set in the font palette. But this can reduce the text so small that it can't be read. If you are developing a dynamic form then you can set the text field to expand to fit (in the layout palette), just make sure the containing subform is set to flowed, when the user exits the field it will expand to fit all text.

Bruce
